§ 24-6-607 [Any Party May Attack Witness Credibility]

When a witness testifies in court, any lawyer in the case can challenge whether that witness is telling the truth. This includes the lawyer who called that witness to testify in the first place.

In older court practice, if you brought a witness to testify, you were stuck with what they said and could not challenge them. Georgia law no longer works that way. Now, if your own witness says something harmful or untrue, you can question their credibility just like the other side can.
